• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FDT_CORE098 - Invalid ID &1; ID is deleted logically ?

  The SAP error message FDT_CORE098 indicates that there is an issue with an ID that has been logically deleted in the system. This typically occurs in the context of SAP's Form Data Technology (FDT) or when dealing with forms and templates in SAP applications.
  Cause:
  The error message "Invalid ID &1; ID is deleted logically" suggests that the system is trying to access an ID (which could be a form, template, or other object) that has been marked as deleted in the database but is still being referenced in the application. This can happen due to:
  
  Logical Deletion: The object has been logically deleted, meaning it is no longer active or usable, but its reference still exists in the system.
  Data Inconsistency: There may be inconsistencies in the database where references to deleted objects are not properly cleaned up.
  Configuration Issues: Incorrect configuration or settings in the FDT or related modules may lead to attempts to access deleted objects.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the FDT_CORE098 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Object Status: Verify the status of the ID mentioned in the error message. You can do this by checking the relevant tables or using transaction codes that allow you to view the status of forms or templates.
  
  
  Remove References: If the ID is indeed deleted, ensure that there are no remaining references to it in your application or configuration. This may involve checking custom code, configurations, or other related objects.
  
  
  Recreate the Object: If the ID is required for your processes, consider recreating the object if possible. This may involve creating a new form or template that serves the same purpose.
  
  
  Database Cleanup: If you have access to the database, you may need to perform a cleanup to remove any orphaned references to logically deleted objects. This should be done with caution and ideally under the guidance of a database administrator.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or notes related to FDT and the specific error message for any additional guidance or patches that may address the issue.
